The Drowsy Chaperone: 2024 Spring Musical!

To close out Celebrate the Arts Week 2024, Shorecrest Performing Arts presents the musical “The Drowsy Chaperone” on April 18-20 in the Janet Root Theatre at 7pm. Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Book and Best Original Score, “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. 

With the house lights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, mistaken identities, dream sequences, and an intoxicated chaperone – and you have the ingredients for a madcap evening!

Michael McCarthy, Shorecrest Upper School Musical Theatre Teacher, directs the cast of students in grades 8-12. Choreography by Jill Godfrey. DrewMcKinney is Technical Director. The show is rated PG.
